We all see things differently, but showing people how the world looks to them is a unique talent – and Australian Michael Alesich’s world is full of wonder. He told us that this project was a chance to show people his surreal world.

‘As an illustrator I don’t tend to see things exactly as everyone else sees them. Size, form and function are questionable when I look at the world around me and 18 months ago I decided to show everyone else what I can see.

‘My Illustrated World is a recent project using my photography, illustration and a little bit of my graphic design training to show the fantastic things around us’.

The latest series of Flying Houses by French photographer Laurent Chehere shows, you guessed it, more liberated houses flying high up in the sky. But this time, he has added occupants – some bewildered, others pensive, and one fearful for her life.

Chehere said his works are inspired by his wanderings in the hidden neighbourhoods of Paris and his love of cinematic history. The results are some manipulated images of surreality that seductively invite the viewer to get lost in his world of wonder and wandering.

South African contemporary artist Jono Dry specializes in rendering black and white photorealistic-surrealist artworks, usually on a large scale and using graphite on paper or board. One of his pieces, called ‘Creation’, shows his own hand drawing his mother’s hand drawing his hand. Kind of confusing when you describe it, but astounding in realism when you look at it. The pencil even looks like it’s popping off the page!

‘Fibonacci’ is a piece depicting a water splash, which basically took him 280 hours to draw in a five month span. The young artist also loves drawing eyes, as you can see (no pun intended). On his Facebook account he says:

‘I love drawing eyes. I used to draw them all the time when I was in school and since I started my Career I seem to have developed a pattern of only drawing one eye a year. This is the 5th Eye’.

‘Drawn from my girlfriend’s eye. I am fascinated with trying to change my perspective of things. The idea that stuck with me while drawing this was the age old one of what it’s like to view the world through someone else’s eyes. When I look at this piece I feel like I am taken in through the eye and can just imagine for a second what It might be like to be looking where she is looking’.

Bands like The Beatles, KISS and Queen not only left deep marks in the world of music, but in the art world as well. Seeing the endless source of inspiration, interpretation and creation, the young Spanish artist Borja Bonafuente Gonzalo combines the history of portraiture with music.

Since his life is music, he is reflecting it in his work through musical references such as famous poses, make-up or the name of the artwork itself. His large format creations enable the spectator to see the wealth of details that make his personal style of hyperrealism such a success.

The Blokker Gallery in Madrid has discovered this emerging talent and will be sharing it with the rest of us in March in an exhibition called Mi querida España.

Austrian photographer Oleksandr Hnatenko got his first camera when he was eight and wanted to take photos at his uncle’s wedding. After taking the pictures, he realized he didn’t load any film in the camera. Now that he’s older and wiser, he has a keen eye for what he dubs ‘photography, and other surreal and fancy stuff’ in everyday life. That includes having one of his photo subjects hold up a pair of fish and passing off these fish eyes as human eyes. Enjoy the illusion.

Polish-born American artist Adam Niklewicz has a great body of work, which includes creating domestic household items that are a little odd. There’s the rug with a rip curl in the middle of it; the shirt lying down flat on the floor with one sleeve propped up as a lighthouse; and our favorite, the dining table all disconcertingly balled up with no legs.

Every morning I wake up and have this hazy half recollection of a series a dreams the night before. The linearity doesn’t follow, the settings and props are spontaneous, space and time are surreal. However, something inside me lets me know that it all makes sense.

Fred Stonehouse’s painting and works on paper take these somber peaceful moments of fantasy and serenity and materialize them into works of folky nostalgia. Stonehouse’s work lies somewhere between the illustrations of children’s books found in your grandparents closet and a fever dream.

Jesse Treece is a collage artist living in Seattle whose work screams simple yet complex, with interpretations of both the mundane and whimsical facets of life.

He’s somehow managed to mix both the regular and absurd, beautiful and disturbing, and put them into images that you could get lost in for hours. He is currently involved in a collaborative collage book project that is traveling from mailbox to mailbox around the globe.
